Captain Shaun Lunt and senior prop Lee Jewitt are set to boost Hull KR’s squad this weekend when both are named in the 19-man squad to take on Castleford.

The duo, who have both featured just six times in 2018, are expected to return from knee and groin injuries respectively for Sunday’s trip to the Mend-a-Hose Jungle.

The match is going to come too soon for playmaker Danny McGuire and hooker Tommy Lee, but the pairing are tipped to be fit to face Huddersfield Giants in a fortnight’s time when overcoming blood clot and back problems.

“Shaun will be selected in the group. He didn’t finish the session fully so there’s a little bit of doubt still," Sheens told the Mail.

"Lee is close, he'll be in the squad too.

"A couple of weeks I didn't have a fit 19th man in the squad so we are getting there."
